Consultative Forum on Mature Age Participation

On 7 March 2012, the Attorney-General of Australia, the Hon Nicola Roxon MP, asked the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) to inquire into and report on Commonwealth legal barriers to older persons participating in the workforce or other productive work. The ALRC was asked to consider all relevant Commonwealth legislation and related legal frameworks that directly, or indirectly, impose limitations or barriers that could discourage older persons from participating, or continuing to participate, in the workforce or other productive work and to provide its Final Report by 31 March 2013.
